The only Cayenne specific thing not already mentioned is air suspension issues. It was optional on the S so they won't all have it. I'm yet to see anything with a long term reliable air suspension, and they're a nightmare once they start getting old.
The wife had SUVs for years and I convinced her to give a car a try (hence the 530). She wants to go back to an SUV.

My logical side says "4Runner", but I can actually get the Cayenne for less $$ (and it has less miles than the 4Runner we're considering). Cosmetically, the Cayenne is spotless, but it was snowing yesterday and I didn't feel like crawling around and giving it a good going-over. This one was bought and serviced right here in Knoxville and has all the records, etc.

Hmmm...need to go drive it tomorrow.

Thanks for all the responses!
